For its season finale, Seattle Modern Orchestra will present three pieces with space in mind. The orchestra will surround the audience for a total immersion of sound, bringing forth the musicians' placement in the hall and their movements as expressive elements of music. Canadian pianist and University of British Columbia faculty Corey Hamm will join SMO in the performance of György Kurtág's ...quasi una fantasia..., and celebrated Seattle pianist Cristina Valdes will be featured on Iannis Xenakis' Eonta and the world premiere of EisBerg by SMO co-Artistic Director Jérémy Jolley.

Xenakis's Philips Pavilion

The Philips Pavilion at Expo '58, designed by Iannis Xenakis.
